Description

  The present invention relates to a communication apparatus capable of registering additional information in addition to destination information of a communication partner in a telephone directory such as a facsimile apparatus and a telephone.

  In recent years, a facsimile apparatus performs facsimile communication using an option signal in which information indicating a specific function such as an F code defined by T series recommendation 30 of ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector) is set. It has become like this. For example, if an F code SUB is added, confidential transmission and relay broadcast transmission can be performed, and if an F code SEP is added, polling reception of a bulletin board document stored in the partner machine can be performed.

The following can be used as the F code.
・ SUB (SUB address, F code for transmission)
ID specified when sending to Mailbox / Relay Box
・ SID (Sender ID)
Password when sending using SUB (valid only when SUB is specified)
・ SEP (Selective Polling, F code for retrieval)
ID specified when receiving from the bulletin board box
・ PWD (Password)
Password for receiving using SEP (valid only when SEP is specified)
As a method for simplifying the input of such an F code, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, when an address is stored in an abbreviated dial function (phone book) or a redial function, the F code is stored together with the telephone number. When the selected address is selected, the F code stored together with the telephone number is also input. Patent Document 3 discloses a technique for registering a destination name, a sub-address SUB, a password SID, and a personal identification number in association with a table so that F-code input is facilitated and F-code transmission can be reliably performed. Has been.

  However, if the destination stored with the F code added is selected from the phone book or the like, the F code is also input unconditionally, so if you want to send without confidential transmission or relay broadcast transmission, A destination stored with an F code added in a book or the like cannot be used. For this reason, if you want to send to the other party of the same phone number normally without relay broadcast transmission, etc., you want to store it as a destination without adding an F code and then perform relay broadcast transmission, etc. Has to be stored as a destination to which an F code is added separately, and the other party of the same telephone number has to be stored as separate destinations.

  Even if these are stored as separate destinations, when normal transmission is desired, the destination to which the F code is added may be selected by mistake. It may be transferred to a facsimile machine, which is a security problem. In the first place, the F code indicates an ID and a password, and it is not preferable from the viewpoint of security that these F codes are transmitted even though they do not need to be transmitted.

  Although the case of the F code has been described, there is a similar problem with additional information based on a sub-address other than the F code or a unique protocol.

  The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-described conventional problems, and the object of the present invention is to add information registered in the phone book destination only when the transmission function of additional information such as an F code is turned on. By enabling the information, one phone book destination can be used for both normal transmission without additional information and transmission with additional information. It is an object of the present invention to provide a communication device that can prevent the transmission of a message.

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, as described in claim 1, destination holding means for holding a registered destination and each destination registered in the destination holding means as a communication partner A communication apparatus having registration means for registering additional information consisting of an F code transmitted by a facsimile transmission procedure together with destination information consisting of a destination telephone number , when a destination registered in the destination holding means is selected Further, the gist of the present invention is a communication apparatus having means for validating the additional information registered at the destination only when the F-code transmission function is set to ON .

  In the communication apparatus of the present invention, only when the transmission function of the additional information such as the F code is turned on, the additional information registered in the telephone book destination is validated, so that one phone book destination is obtained. It can be used for both normal transmission that does not use additional information and transmission that uses additional information, so that it is possible to prevent unintentionally sending additional information or transferring a document unintentionally.

  Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a multifunction peripheral according to an embodiment of the present invention. This multifunction machine has a G3 facsimile function for performing G3 facsimile communication and a copying function for printing out a copy.

  In FIG. 1, a system control unit 1 performs a control process for each part of the multifunction machine, a predetermined G3 facsimile transmission control procedure process, and a copier control process. The system memory 2 stores a control processing program executed by the system control unit 1 and various data necessary for executing the processing program, and constitutes a work area of the system control unit 1. The parameter memory 3 is used for storing various types of information unique to the multifunction machine. The clock circuit 4 is for outputting current time information.

  The scanner 5 is for reading a document image with a predetermined resolution, and the plotter 6 is for recording and outputting an image with a predetermined resolution. The operation display unit 7 is for operating the multifunction machine, and includes various operation keys and various displays.

  The encoding / decoding unit 8 encodes and compresses the image signal, and also decodes the encoded and compressed image information into the original image signal. The image storage device 9 performs encoding and compression. This is for storing a large number of image information in the selected state.

  The G3 facsimile modem 10 is for realizing the modem function of the G3 facsimile, and is a low-speed modem function (V.21 modem) for exchanging transmission procedure signals, and a high-speed modem mainly for exchanging image information. Functions (V.17 modem, V.34 modem, V.29 modem, V.27ter modem, etc.) are provided. The network control device 11 is for connecting the multi-function device to the analog public network PSTN, and has an automatic outgoing / incoming function.

The liquid crystal display 7h is used for user touch input operations. Touch panel 7i is attached. The user's operation input is performed by touching the screen with respect to the operation items displayed on the liquid crystal display 7h, and the occurrence of the user's touch operation and the touch coordinates are detected by the attached touch panel 7i. Then, the system control unit 1 is notified.

  FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram showing an example of SUB transmission of facsimile communication by the G3 protocol. In FIG. 3, first, a calling signal CNG of 1100 Hz is transmitted from the calling side to the called side (step S1). When the called terminal receives CNG, it transmits a called terminal identification signal CED of 2100 Hz to the calling side (step S2).

  Next, a called terminal identification signal CSI and a digital identification signal DIS are transmitted from the called side following the CED (step S3). In CSI, the CSI code (international identification number) of the called terminal is transmitted to the calling side, and in the DIS, the functions of the receiving side (recording width capability, resolution capability, compression method, etc. supported by the receiving side) are transmitted.

  On the other hand, after receiving the DIS, the calling side transmits a transmitter identification SID, a subaddress SUB, a transmission terminal identification signal TSI, and a digital command signal DCS (step S4). In TSI, the CSI code of the calling side is transmitted to the called side, and in DCS, the communication condition determined by the calling side function and the function of the called side known from DIS is transmitted with any image width, resolution, and compression method. Or the like).

  Here, the SUB is used as an ID for requesting confidential reception or relay broadcast transmission to the called party, and the SID is often used as a password when performing such confidential reception or relay broadcast transmission. For example, when a confidential box “1234” is opened and a communication in which “1234” is designated as a SUB is received, a document transmitted by the communication is not automatically printed, and the “1234” is not printed. Is stored in a confidential box. Here, a password is set in the confidential box, the password is specified by the SID from the calling side, and if the SID does not match the password of the confidential box, reception of the document is rejected (communication is cut off). Sometimes. In addition, if a relay box “1234” is established on the callee side, and destinations A and B are set as the transmission destinations of the relay box, communication with “1234” specified as the SUB is called. Then, the transmitted document is transferred to destinations A and B. Here too, a password is set in the relay box, the password is specified by the SID from the calling side, and if the SID does not match the password of the relay box, the reception of the document is rejected (communication cut off). Sometimes. Thus, SUB designates the IDs of confidential boxes and relay boxes established on the called side, and SID designates the passwords of those boxes. Accordingly, although only the SUB is specified without specifying the SID, only the SID is not specified without specifying the SUB. For both SUB and SID, up to 20 digits can be specified using numbers 0 to 9, *, and #.

  Next, in order to determine the communication speed, a training signal TCF is transmitted from the calling side to the called side (step S5). If this signal is normally received on the called side, a reception preparation confirmation signal CFR is transmitted to the calling side (step S6).

  Subsequently, a document (image) is transmitted from the calling side to the called side (shown as PIX in the figure) (step S7). After the image transmission, if there is no next page, a procedure end signal EOP is transmitted from the calling side to the called side (if there is a next page, another signal is transmitted but is omitted here) (step S8). When the called side receives EOP, it transmits a message confirmation signal MCF to the calling side (step S9). Then, a disconnection command signal DCN is transmitted from the calling side to the called side (step S10), the line is disconnected, and the communication ends.

  FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of SEP polling reception of facsimile communication by the G3 protocol. In FIG. 4, up to the point where CSI and DIS are transmitted from the called side to the calling side (steps S11 to S13) is the same as in FIG.

  On the other hand, a password PWD, selective polling SEP, calling terminal identification signal CIG, and digital transmission command signal DTC are transmitted from the calling side to the called side (step S14). The CIG conveys the CSI code of the calling terminal, and the DTC informs the other terminal that the image transmission right is delegated. In other words, in normal communication, an image is transmitted from the calling side to the called side (calling side = image transmitting side, called side = image receiving side), but DTC is transmitted from the calling side to the called side. Then, the image is transmitted from the called side to the calling side (calling side = image receiving side, called side = image transmitting side).

  Here, the SEP is often used as a bulletin board ID for performing polling reception on the called side (image transmission side), and the PWD is often used as a password for performing polling reception. For example, when a bulletin board box “1234” is opened and a document is stored in the bulletin board box in advance, if a communication in which “1234” is designated as an SEP is received, an image transmission right is received by DTC reception. In the case of delegation to the side, the document stored in the bulletin board box “1234” is transmitted from the called side to the calling side. Here, a password is set in the bulletin board box, the password is specified by the PWD from the calling side, and if the PWD does not match the password of the bulletin board box, polling reception is rejected (communication is cut off). Sometimes. Thus, SEP designates the ID of the bulletin board box established on the called side, and PWD designates the password of the bulletin board box. Therefore, although only the SEP may be specified without specifying the PWD, only the PWD is not specified without specifying the SEP. Both SEP and PWD can be specified up to 20 digits using numbers 0 to 9, *, and #.

  After the DTC is transmitted from the calling side to the called side, TSI and DCS are transmitted from the called side (image transmitting side) to the calling side (image receiving side) (step S15). Thereafter, the procedure of FIG. 3 and the calling side / calling side are switched to transmit / receive a signal / image (PIX) (steps S16 to S21).

  On the other hand, this multi-function device is provided with a one-touch dial function capable of designating and inputting a destination by one key operation. A plurality of destination registration information referred to by the one-touch dial function is as shown in FIG. Registered in the phone book table. Note that the phone book table is held in the non-volatile parameter memory 3 in FIG. 1 (a non-volatile phone book memory may be provided separately and held there).

  In FIG. 5, the phone book table is composed of a BOOK_MAX array book, and each array is a numeric variable No that holds a registration number, a character string variable Key that holds a key display name, and a character string variable that holds a destination name. It consists of a character string variable Tel that holds Name, a telephone number, and character string variables Sub, Sid, Sep, Pwd that hold SUB, SID, SEP, and PWD. The i-th (i = 0 to BOOK_MAX-1) array element is represented by Book [i], and the Book [i] registration number, key display name, destination name, telephone number, SUB, SID, SEP, and PWD are each Book. [I]. No, Book [i]. Key, Book [i]. Name, Book [i]. Tel, Book [i]. Sub, Book [i]. Sid, Book [i]. Sep, Book [i]. Expressed as Pwd. No is set to 0 when the destination is not registered in the array, and is set to a non-zero number that does not overlap with No of other array elements when registered. Therefore, Book [i]. If No is 0, the destination is not registered in Book [i], and if it is not 0, the destination is registered. The name displayed on the one-touch destination button is set in Key, and the name displayed when the destination is selected is set in Name. If there is no set value for Tel, Sub, Sid, Sep, and Pwd, NULL (null character string) is set.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the variable Adr for holding the input destination. The variable Adr is held in the system memory 2 in FIG.

  In FIG. 6, the variable Adr has the same elements other than Key with respect to the array Book [] in FIG. This is because the key display name is not used, but it may be the same element as in FIG.

  The registration number of the destination being entered is Adr. No, the telephone number of the destination being entered is Adr. Tel, etc., and Adr. If Tel is NULL, it indicates that the destination is not input. Also, Adr. If No is 0, it indicates that the destination has not been input or that the destination has been input from other than the telephone book (the destination has been input by the numeric keypad).

  When making a call, first, Adr. After making a call to the Tel telephone number and starting communication, Adr. Sub, Adr. Sid, Adr. Sep, Adr. SUB, SID, SEP, and PWD are transmitted according to the contents contained in Pwd (not transmitted if each is NULL).

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for selecting a destination from the telephone directory. (A) is a screen when no destination is input (Adr.Tel = NULL). The frame on the upper side of the screen is a destination content frame, and nothing is displayed when no destination is input. On the lower side of the screen, there are one-touch destination buttons for selecting a destination from the phone book (here, eight key display names set in the key of the phone book table are displayed) and a page for the one-touch destination button A scroll button (button with a triangle mark) for switching between is displayed.

  For example, when a one-touch destination button “Tokyo head office” is pressed in (a), the screen shown in (b) appears. In (b), the selected one-touch button “Tokyo head office” is highlighted, and the selected telephone number (Tel) and name (Name) of the destination are displayed in the destination contents frame. When the highlighted one-touch destination button is pressed, an operation of deselecting the destination is performed, and the screen returns to the screen for no destination input as shown in (a).

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a screen flow for controlling invalidity / validity of F code transmission. In FIG. 8, on each screen, there is a button “F code transmission” below the one-touch destination button display portion. When this button is inverted, the F code transmission function is ON. When the button is not inverted, the F code transmission function is OFF. It becomes. Each time the button is pressed, the button is switched between normal display (OFF) and reverse display (ON) (FIGS. 8A1 and 8B1).

  Here, as in the example of the phone book table of FIG. 5, the phone book destination whose key is “Tokyo head office” is the phone number (Tel) = “3333”, SUB = “1234”, and SID = “5555”. The phone book destination whose key is “Shibuya branch” is assumed to be telephone number (Tel) = “0 * #”, SUB = NULL, SID = NULL (that is, SUB / SID is not registered).

  When the F-code transmission function shown in FIG. 8 (a1) is OFF, even if the destination “Tokyo headquarters” in which the SUB / SID is registered is selected in the telephone directory, as shown in (a2), the input destination is SUB.・ SID is not valid. That is, at this time, Adr. Sub = NULL, Adr. Sid = NULL.

  When the F-code transmission function ON shown in FIG. 8 (b1) is ON, if the destination “Tokyo head office” in which the SUB / SID is registered is selected in the telephone directory, the SUB / SID is input as the input destination as shown in (b2). It becomes effective. That is, at this time, Adr. Sub = “1234”, Adr. Sid = “5555”. Even if the F-code transmission function is ON, even if a destination “Shibuya branch” for which no SUB / SID is registered is selected, the SUB / SID is not valid as shown in (b3).

  In addition, although the case where the input content is cleared is shown in the state of no destination input shown in (a1), the previous operation content may be held. In this case, it is possible to simplify the operation when performing transmission or the like to the same destination. In addition, it is possible to leave only the selected state such as F code transmission in the previous operation. Furthermore, it is possible to set a default of a selection state such as F code transmission in advance and start from that state.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a processing flow at the time of one-touch destination selection corresponding to the screen flow of FIG. Here, N is an index of the selected phone book destination in the phone book table. For example, if the one-touch destination whose key is “Shibuya branch” is selected for the telephone directory table of FIG. 5, N = 3.

  In FIG. 9, when a destination is selected and processing is started, first, No, Name, and Tel are reflected from Book [N] to Adr (step S31). Here, since SEP / PWD is not valid, Adr. Sep and Adr. Pwd is set to NULL.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the F-code transmission function is ON (step S32). If ON, Sub · Sid is also reflected from Book [N] to Adr (step S33). If the transmission function is OFF, Adr. Sub, Adr. Sid is also set to NULL (step S34).

  By doing so, even if a SUB or SID is registered in the telephone directory, if the F-code transmission function is OFF, the SUB / SID is not reflected in the input destination, and the SUB or SID is not transmitted even when a call is made. Therefore, since it is necessary to turn on the F code transmission function when it is desired to explicitly perform SUB transmission, SUB is not erroneously transmitted otherwise. That is, when the phone book destination is selected, only when the F code transmission function is ON, the F code SUB / SID registered in the phone book destination is made valid, so that one phone book can be obtained. The destination can be used for both normal transmission and confidential transmission / relay broadcast transmission, and SUB / SID is sent accidentally without intention, or the relay broadcast transmission function works and the document is transferred. Can be prevented.

  Similarly, an OFF / ON button called “F code polling” is provided instead of the “F code send” button shown in FIG. 8, and the SEP / PWD of the phone book destination is set as the input destination only when the F code polling function is ON. Can be reflected. As described above, when the phone book destination is selected, only when the F code polling function is ON, the F code SEP / PWD registered in the phone book destination is made effective, so that one The telephone book destination can be used for both normal transmission and bulletin board polling reception, and it is possible to prevent an SEP / PWD from being sent unintentionally.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing another screen flow in the case of controlling invalidity / validity of F code transmission. Here, as in the example of the phone book table of FIG. 5, the phone book destination whose key is “Tokyo head office” is the phone number (Tel) = “3333”, SUB = “1234”, and SID = “5555”. And

  FIG. 10 (a) is the same as FIG. 8 (a2), and the SUB / SID is registered in the address book “Tokyo headquarters” in the phone book. However, since the F-code transmission function is OFF, the SUB • This is a state where the SID is invalid. In this state, when the “F-code transmission” button is pressed to turn on the F-code transmission function, the SUB / SID registered in the address “Tokyo head office” in the phone book becomes valid as shown in (b). When the “F code transmission” button is pressed again to turn off the F code transmission function, the SUB / SID becomes invalid as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a processing flow when the F-code transmission button is pressed corresponding to the screen flow of FIG. When the “F code transmission” button is pressed, it is determined whether the F code transmission function is OFF → ON or ON → OFF (step S41). When the F code transmission function is ON when the button is pressed, the Adr. Sub is also described in Adr. Sid is also set to NULL (step S42).

  When the F-code transmission function is turned off at the time of pressing and this is turned on, Adr. It is determined whether or not No = 0 (when no destination is input or the destination is not selected from the phone book) (step S43). If No = 0, do nothing and end.

  Adr. If No = 0 and a phone book destination is selected, the Adr. A search is made for a match between No and No (step S44), and Sub and Sid are reflected in Adr from the phone book table destination (step S45).

  By doing so, even if the destination is selected in a state where the F code transmission function is OFF, the SUB / SID can be made effective by turning on the F code transmission function later. In other words, when the F-code transmission function is switched from OFF to ON, the F-code SUB / SID registered in the selected phone book destination is disabled → enabled, and when the F-code transmission function is switched from ON to OFF, it is selected. By enabling / disabling the F-code SUB / SID registered in the phone book address, the phone book address can be used for both normal transmission and confidential / relay broadcast transmission. , It is possible to prevent unintentional transmission of SUB / SID or relay broadcast transmission function to transfer a document. Even after selecting a phone book destination, F code transmission function By switching OFF / ON, the invalidity / validity of the F code SUB / SID can be switched.

  Similarly, even if the destination is selected with the F code polling function OFF, the SEP / PWD of the input destination can be validated when the F code polling function is turned ON later. As described above, when the F code polling function is turned OFF → ON, the F code SEP / PWD registered in the selected phone book destination is invalidated → enabled, and when the F code polling function is turned ON → OFF, By enabling / disabling F-code SEP / PWD registered in the selected phone book destination, one phone book destination can be used for both normal transmission and bulletin board polling reception. SEP / PWD can be prevented from being sent out by mistake, and the F code SEP / PWD can be disabled / enabled by switching the F code polling function OFF / ON even after selecting the phone book destination. Can be switched.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a processing flow for displaying the validity / invalidity of the SUB of the destination being input. That is, if the destination SUB being input is valid, “F code (SUB)” is displayed on the right side of the destination content frame. This processing flow is performed after the F-code transmission function is switched OFF / ON after the one-touch destination is selected / released.

  First, Adr. It is determined whether or not Sub is NULL (step S51). If it is not NULL, "F code (SUB)" is displayed on the right side of the destination content frame (step S52). If NULL, the right side of the destination content frame is not displayed. (Step S53).

  As described above, whether or not the F code SUB or SEP is valid is displayed on the screen for the selected telephone book destination, so that the user can easily know whether or not the F code is transmitted. it can.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a screen flow for controlling invalidity / validity of F code transmission and F code polling. In FIG. 13, in addition to FIG. 8, a button “F code polling” for setting OFF / ON of the F code polling function is added. (A1) (a2) (b1) (b2) are the same as in FIG. In FIG. 13, when the “F code polling” button is inverted, the F code polling function is turned on, and when the “F code polling” button is not inverted, the F code polling function is turned off. Each time the button is pressed, the button is switched between normal display (OFF) and reverse display (ON) (FIGS. 13 (a1) and (c1)).

  When a one-touch destination is selected with the F-code polling function ON, the SEP registered in the phone book is valid as shown in (c2), and the one-touch destination is selected with the F-code polling function OFF. In this case, as shown in (a2), the SEP registered in the telephone directory becomes invalid.

  In FIG. 13, when the F code transmission function is ON (the F code transmission button is inverted), the F code polling button is in a half-luminance state and the button cannot be pressed. Further, when the F code polling function is ON (the F code polling button is inverted), the F code transmission button is in a half-luminance state, and the button cannot be pressed. For this reason, the F code transmission function and the F code polling function cannot be turned ON simultaneously. It should be noted that the buttons shown in the semi-luminance state may be pressed and the selection state may be switched.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a processing flow at the time of one-touch destination selection corresponding to the screen flow of FIG. In FIG. 14, in the reflection to the variable Adr (step S61), Adr. Sep and Adr. Except that Pwd is not set to NULL, the Adr. Sub, Adr. Up to the setting of Sid (steps S62 to S64) is the same as the flow of FIG.

  In addition, in FIG. 14, it is determined whether or not the F code polling function is ON (step S65). Sep and Adr. Pwd is reflected from Book [N] (step S66), and if the F code polling function is OFF, Adr. Sep and Adr. Pwd is set to NULL (step S67).

  As described above, when a phone book destination in which SUB (.SID) .SEP (.PWD) is registered is selected and the F-code transmission function is ON, the F registered in the phone book destination. When the code SUB (.SID) is enabled and the F code polling function is ON, the F code SEP (.PWD) registered in the phone book destination is enabled. The telephone book destination can be used for any of normal transmission, confidential transmission / relay broadcast transmission, and bulletin board polling reception.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a processing flow when the F-code transmission button is pressed corresponding to the screen flow of FIG. In FIG. 15, it is first determined whether or not the F-code transmission button is half-bright (step S71), and if it is half-bright, the process ends without doing anything. If the F code transmission button is not half-bright, it is determined whether or not the F code transmission function is OFF (step S72). If the F code transmission button is OFF, the F code transmission function is set to ON (step S73). The F code transmission button is displayed in reverse video, and the F code polling button is displayed in half luminance (step S74). On the other hand, when the F code transmission function is ON, the F code transmission function is set to OFF (step S75), and the F code transmission button and the F code polling button are returned to the normal display (step S76).

  The processing flow when the F-code polling button is pressed can be performed in the same manner (the processing is just the exchange of F-code transmission and F-code polling).

  As described above, by preventing both the F code transmission function and the F code polling function from being turned ON at the same time, it is possible to prevent the F code SUB and the F code SEP from being simultaneously transmitted.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a processing flow for displaying the validity of the SUB / SEP of the destination being input. That is, this is a processing flow for displaying “F code (SUB)” on the right side of the destination content frame if the destination SUB being input is valid, and “F code (SEP)” at the same position if SEP is valid. This processing flow is performed after the one-touch destination is selected / released, the F code transmission function OFF / ON is switched, and the F code polling function OFF / ON is switched.

  In FIG. It is determined whether or not Sub is NULL (step S81). If it is not NULL, "F code (SUB)" is displayed on the right side of the destination frame (step S82). Also, Adr. If Sub is NULL, then Adr. It is determined whether Sep is not NULL (step S83). If it is not NULL, "F code (SEP)" is displayed on the right side of the destination frame (step S84). Adr. If Sep is NULL, the right side of the destination frame is not displayed (step S85).

  As described above, when the F code is valid for the selected phone book destination, the SUB is transmitted by displaying on the screen which of the SUB and SEP is valid (confidential transmission / The user can easily know whether the relay broadcast transmission is performed) or the SEP is transmitted (the bulletin board polling reception is performed).
